They're aware that Wolfenstein is the same game series that had mecha-hitler right?
It's not a work meant for nuanced analysis about the complex political structures of WWII
In fairness, it's a bit myopic to bring Mechahitler, the Super mutant, or even the Angel of Death into it as it's the earliest one-and-a-half games in the series.
RtCW dealt with the resistance fight in more detail, and the Machinegames Wolfy games went full anti-Nazi in the best possible way.
I still haven't a fucking clue what story Wolfenstein 2009 was trying to tell though, but I still enjoyed it.
Also in fairness, we now know that Mechahitler was just Grok all along.
